about

A public schoolboy runs away to find a new life as an outlaw. In the notorious drinking dens of Chisel Town, the locals quickly get a measure of the newcomer.

lyrics

On a rock with a lake around it
There's a fort with a moat around it
Chisel Town's my home,
Home to scholars, thieves and rogues
The gambling house is full cos booze and dice is never dull
But opium's not needed when tobacco's fit for honest men
I'm not sure your face fits in
You're missing something called a chin
A man could take a swing at you and miss
Let's play a guessing game
If I can guess your father's name,
I'll take that schoolboy's cap from off your head
Oh it's not Casey it's not Lynch
But you could swing it at a pinch
With all the sarc and all the wit
All the vinegar and piss
I've got to hand it to you kid,
You're making quite a fist of this
But look up the breeding tree
I think you lack a certain pedigree
On the rock with the lake around
In the fort with the moat around it
Now Chisel Town's your home.
That's where they'll find your weary bones
The berg you left can't amount to much
If the grass is greener in the Chisel Cut
You're a strong young man and sound of mind
So you left the howling owl behind
